the US was flying planes over the USSR investingating there weapons over there using U-2 planes. before that though the US tried to ask the USSR if they would agree to "open skies". the USSR said no though but we still flew over it anyway. the U-2 was the type of plane that we picked to do the spying with. But one day they had found out about one of our planes and threatened that if they did it again they would shoot it down. we still did it anyway and on the day of May 1, 1960 they did shoot it down thus killing one of our people named Francis Gary Powers.
